Makeover Beef & Sausage Lasagna

• 3/4 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 3/4 pound Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium green pepper, chopped
• 1 jar (26 ounces) spaghetti sauce
• 1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
• 1 cup 1% cottage cheese
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• 6 whole wheat lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
• 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Italian cheese blend
• 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
• 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1. In a large skillet, cook the beef, sausage, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Set aside 1 cup spaghetti sauce; stir remaining sauce into meat mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until thickened.
2. In a small saucepan, melt cream cheese over medium heat. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cottage cheese, egg and parsley.
3. Spread meat sauce into a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with 3 noodles, Italian cheese blend, 1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning and cream cheese mixture. Layer with remaining noodles and reserved spaghetti sauce; sprinkle with mozzarella and remaining Italian seasoning.
4. Cover and bake at 350u0b0 for 35 minutes. Bake, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
